History

After the Franco-German War of 1870 /71 and the annexation of Alsace and parts of Lorraine by the German Empire moved from these areas Jewish residents to Sedan to be able to live in France. For the growing number of community members, the synagogue was built in Sedan. The building is located on a two-kilometer long avenue, which was created from 1876 to 1878.
